Forever Irregular?
Montgomery will have predictable bowel movements for about three days at a time, and then completely change. So, lately its last thing in the evening and mid-day, but this is day two now, so if his pattern continues, he'll switch again tomorrow or Sunday. Is this normal? His mealtimes do not ever change.
Montgomery was born 20 March 2012. He eats extra lean ground chicken, lean ground pork and lean ground beef completed with Alnutrin and freeze-dried chicken liver, with hard-cooked egg. He gets two size zero capsules of Enzyme Diane's enzymes at each of his six meals, and a size four capsule of Tylan three times a day. He's a fierce little Spitfire with a roaring Merlin engine.

Re: Forever Irregular?
i don't know if Montgomery's situation is normal or not... but with EPI dogs...... some experience degrading bowel movements due to some sort of everyday stress.... it can be simply activity, someone ringing the doorbell, having too much fun or getting stressed out with a visit to the vets..... etc, etc...... so maybe Montgomery's situation is along the same lines...............
Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Re: Forever Irregular?
What comes out of him is fairly consistent, but his timing is not. Since we're out of the house a lot, it can make things tricky. He's pretty bomb-proof, so I don't think its a stress thing. Other than karaoke and cell phones, nothing scares him, and we don't encounter those much.

Re: Forever Irregular?
V---It's really nice when you can predict what they are gonna do. I know that pretty much every time I take Tuck outside, he's gonna squeeze out some poop, as if on command. Go outside, poop a little or a lot. Could M's situation be related to exercise?
I'm really just commenting because every time I see Montgomery's picture I smile because he's just so stinkin' cute in his little hoodie, and I don't think I've told you that. ---Pam

Tucker was a shepherd/lab mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Took Diane's Enzymes 4 teaspoons/day, Wonderlabs B12 one capsule per day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/ morning (to hold SID at bay). Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 1 1/2 cups/day, with a total of 4 cups of Fresh Pet. Stopped eating everything in sight, and went from 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker was my boyfriend, and my husband was OK with that. Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma, but we cherished every day we had with that wonderful, beautiful boy. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.

Re: Forever Irregular?
His exercise is unpredictable. Sometimes he sleeps all day, and sometimes - like tonight - he has mad zoomies. He likes to shoot marbles and slot balls. Today he slept most of the day. He had two bowel movements, both before six, which was unusual. We got home from work, he ate, had his B12 shot, and then he ran all over the place, up and down the scratch post and across the wall units, whacked his slot ball around, chewed a cardboard box, and then passed out in his cube. He didn't get up again until his last meal before bedtime, and when I left him, he was in his bed with his hot water bottle sawing logs.
When I know he needs to go, I can put him in the litter box and ask him to go, but it can take a lot of putting him back in there and repeating the request. When he needs to go, he can get gassy, restless, and a bit crabby. When he's gone, he's good for a couple hours of napping at least. Good, solid napping with cat snores.
Thank you - I'll pass on your compliment to the little hairball. He's getting a rather large head.
